i carry a small field notes[1] book in a slim leather sleeve that also serves as my wallet, and i tuck a pen[2] in the fold. i change out the notebook every few months when it's full. i value how compact this is, and i value never needing to charge any batteries. i also value being able to rip out a piece of paper and hand it to someone or place it somewhere. in the first few pages of a new notebook, i often find myself wishing i had access to the old notebook (sometimes i carry both for a period). i would consider switching if the form factor were small enough and the battery life were long enough. i would appreciate having full access to my archive, and the ability to backup/post-process the data. i would still miss having the ability to rip out a piece of paper. i'm honestly not sure where i'd land on the final decision. 1: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/original-kraft https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/original-kraft 2: rOtring 600 w/ fisher space refills
